There are two types of headers configuration available for UK Open Banking.

• System Headers (i.e. Mandatory Headers and its respective value validation)
• Configuration Headers (i.e. Mandatory Headers).

Below are the configuration steps and Out of the box header already configured in the system.

System Headers:- As of now in OOTB one header has been added as mandatory “x-fapi-financial-id” with value as “491308330388688” (This is a random value and can be changed. This value is issued by OBIE and corresponds to the Organization Id of the ASPSP in the Open Banking Directory). This value needs to be configured by Bank or ASPSP. This header needs to be sent by the TPP to the ASPSP mandatorily with the same value. Both Header name and Header value are validated for System Headers.

For configuring more system headers, below script is to be executed in the OBAPI Admin schema.

Insert into DIGX_FW_CONFIG_ALL_B (PROP_ID, CATEGORY_ID, PROP_VALUE, FACTORY_SHIPPED_FLAG, 
PROP_COMMENTS, SUMMARY_TEXT, CREATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, LAST_UPDATED_BY, LAST_UPDATED_DATE, 
OBJECT_STATUS,OBJECT_VERSION_NUMBER) values ('uk%%HEADER NAME%%','OpenbankingSystemHeaders',
'%%HEADERVALUE%%','N',null,'Open Banking','ofssuser',sysdate,'ofssuser',sysdate,'Y',1);
